Lifetime Networks has recently announced this exciting news in a press release, revealing that the film will premiere on August 10 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.
The film tells the story of Youree Dell Harris, who worked at the Psychic Readers Network in the late 1990s while trying to provide for her family.
